Monday 26 September 2022 04:38 PM MAFS UK's April flees to her £750k London home to focus on therapy after ... trends now

Traumatised Married At First Sight UK contestant April Banbury has dumped her reality-TV husband and is living alone at her luxury London flat after her on-screen marriage went wrong, MailOnline can reveal.

The 33-year-old former Miss Great Britain has already admitted she is in therapy following her 'traumatic' marriage to divorced father-of-four George Roberts.

And she has suggested that she split from the 40-year-old divorced father-of-four, following allegations of his 'abusive', 'obsessive' and 'manipulative' behaviour by three former girlfriends.

Now MailOnline can reveal she has returned to her £750,000 apartment in south London – without 'husband' George.

April said she was unable to discuss the allegation of coercive behaviour made against Married At First Sight husband George Roberts when approached by MailOnline at her home on Monday.

But she appeared drained and upset by the fall-out of her failed 'marriage' that saw the couple tie the knot in the UK and then honeymoon in the Caribbean.

The 'weddings' on the show are not legally binding, but see the couples make lifelong commitments to each other at a ceremony overseen by a wedding officiant. 

In an Instagram post on Sunday night April told how she had sought respite from the reality TV show by going out with male friend Jose Luis.

She wrote: 'A night off from MAFS switched for a night of glitz and glam pageant land with my Josephina ballerina @josek9999.'

And on Friday she suggested that her young marriage to George in two picture posts on Instagram, with the caption; 'How it started vs how it's going'.

The first picture showed the 2020 Miss Great Britain sitting cuddled up to a very tanned George on a sofa. The second picture showed her looking away as George starred at her angrily.

Over the weekend April went into further detail about the failure of her relationship with George.
